INVITING ON FACTS.
WHAT Is NEEDED TO MAKE THIS
WORLD A PARADISE.
DR.. Talmage Fires Hot Shot Into The Gamb-
iers, Canada Fugitives, and Other
Sinners.

"Look and see what a loathsome lot OF
men fill positions in the municipal gov
ernment of some cities said DR.. TAI
mage in the Brooklyn tabernacle. His
text had been taken from Iacariah S:I5.
There are others waiting for some
crumbs of emolument to fall ut their
feet, he continued. What do they
do with the gambler who took that
young mans 800? Nothing, What
about his ruined nome? What is done
with the men who induced this young
man to steal from his employers for
their bcnetitP The man who steals $40
is sent to jail. If he steals $4,000 they
let him go TO Canada. The trouble is
they don't steal enough, What do they do
with the gamblers? Where is the court
that cannot arrest and try such sound
rels? The trial is over" soliloQuized
the preacher, and nobody is convicted.
How is it? Is it because one of the
jurors, who was presented with a pair
Of gold spectacles, saw the case differ
emily through them than the others?
Oh, what damnable schemes some men
and even the ministry, engage in
sometimes! Oh, my friends, these
wrongs are going to be righted. | don't
hnow how soon, but much will depend
on the Christian people. Three hundred
and sixty bells chimed in Moscow when
q prince was married; 10000 heavenly
bells will ring when the church Of God
is triumphant. How are you engaged,
my brother, my sister-disheartened?
Take good heart. There are 1000
promises for good souls. Some one has
said your work has been of no avail. l
suppose when Moses stretched forth his
hand over the Red sea the people said
1t was a foolish thing. but Moses kept
right on till the wind blew from the
east, the water rose in glittering pail
sades On either side. Wheel into line,
q Israel! March! March, There is a
shout OF the troops on the beach when
the last line crosses, the cymbals clash,
the swift, flying wind plays the grand
march and murmNs an awful oath rs
the sea closes in on the enemy. Napo-
Icons army got stuck In the Alps. They
couldn't get the ammunition wagons
over the rocks. Napoleon ordered the
band to play a grand march. Music
inspired the men and over the rocks
went the ammunition wagons. Oh,
that the people of God would march
OF TO the glad halleleujahs. Dexter in
his book set forth the idea that the
only forces needed to create a paradise
on earth in ten years were water, wind
and sunshine. BY taking stock In q
company he proposed forming, a man
might live, he said, in a most magnili-
cent palace, surrounded by beautiful
gardens, and accomplish more in ten
years than before IN 1900. lie speaks
of travelling 1900 miles in twenty-four
hours by canal. From the galleries,
roofs and turrets of his palace, ponds,
amphitheatres, fountains, beautiful
sculpture and gondolas might be seen.
While take no stock in such a COM
pany, | know that much good can be
done when the right forces are brought
to bear in the church. Archimedes
lifted a sun-glass and brought it to bear
on aship. The sails took fire, the masts
fell, she vas a wreck. My friends, the
gospel ship cal be saved by q sun-glass
by showing up the sins and follies Of
the world. First a blaze, then it expires.
! think on that day you won't see any
inebriates, any lager beer saloons, no
bloodshot eyes. There will be a clap
ping of the heavenly cymbals, while
those who derided will be like the splin-
tered wheel of a broken chariot"
Comparative Longevity of the Sexes.
The Hebrew women are the longest
lived, and the colored men the short
est. 1t appears from the gathered
statistics of the world, that women have
greater tenacity Of life than men.
Nature worships the female in all its
varieties. Among insects the male
perishes at a relatively earlier period
In plants the seminate blossoms die
earliest, and are produced in the weaker
limbs. Female quadrupeds have more
endurance than males. In the human
race, despite the intellectual and physi-
Cal strength Of the man, the woman en-
dures longest, and will bear pain to
which the strong man suocumbs.
Zymotic diseases are more fatal to
males, and more male children die than
female, Deverga asserts that the pro-
